Definitely try some of the alternate first-line medicines. For me, methylphenidate (Ritalin/Concerta in US) works wonders. Many people seem very happy with Strattera or Adderall.
My first few weeks were a rollercoaster, but the negative effects reduced significantly over time as I got used to the medicine and stabilised my dosage. And the positive effects are life-changing.
Ritalin (the UK version of anyway) is the one I've been put on yeah. Adderall equiv is on the table if this doesn't work but so far it seems to be the right track
